Festina Tour de France 100 “Grand Tour Chrono” – Limited Edition We propose a fascinating Festina Chrono Bike Limited Edition, part of the special series dedicated to the 100th edition of the Tour de France. To enhance this specimen in auction, we present it under the name “Grand Tour Chrono,” inspired by the historic collaboration between Festina and the world of professional cycling. The watch is offered new in box, complete with its spectacular original Limited Edition presentation case and the accessories visible in the photographs. A set particularly interesting for both the Festina collector and the cycling and Tour de France memorabilia enthusiast. Case and materials The case is mainly made of stainless steel, with a robust and decidedly sporty build. The bezel features a brushed metal finish with large raised numerals, alternated with dark elements that echo the color of the case and bracelet. The caseback bears Festina Limited Edition engravings, the individual numbering No. 01757, the indication Sapphire Crystal, All Stainless Steel and the declared water resistance of 10 ATM / 10 BAR. The crystal is sapphire, a material highly valued in watchmaking for its exceptional scratch resistance. The case has substantial dimensions, in the typical style of Festina Chrono Bike of the era: about 45 mm in diameter, excluding the crown, with a thickness of about 13-14 mm. Measurements should be considered indicative. Dial and colors The dial features a predominantly black, anthracite, and steel color combination, with metallic applied indices and silver details. The tri-compax layout gives the timepiece a strongly sporty stance. The contrast between the black dial and the metallic surfaces also ensures good legibility and gives the watch a technical, aggressive, and immediately recognizable appearance. The bracelet repeats the watch’s color scheme with dark elements and steel details, completed by a robust Festina clasp. Functions The watch displays hours, minutes and seconds, chronograph function, additional counters and date. The crown is flanked by the characteristic chronograph pushers, integrated into a particularly elaborate structure that represents one of the most distinctive aesthetic elements of this model. The water resistance declared by the manufacturer on the caseback is 10 ATM. However, as it is a collectible piece, water resistance is not guaranteed without a recent professional test. Movement Inside we find a quartz chronograph movement, a solution chosen by Festina for many Chrono Bike models due to its precision, reliability, and practical use. Battery power allows higher precision than most traditional mechanical movements and enables management of the various chronograph functions. Year and history This specimen can be traced to 2013, the year of the 100th Tour de France edition. The bond between Festina and cycling represents one of the best-known chapters in the brand’s modern history. The Chrono Bike collection was born from the meeting between Festina’s sporty identity and the world of cycling competitions, becoming over the years one of the brand’s most recognizable lines. This special edition commemorates a historic event: the centennial edition of the Tour de France, held in 2013 and traditionally concluding on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. What makes the piece even more interesting is the large commemorative Tour de France 100 – Festina Official Timekeeper box, which transforms the set into a true collection display. Conditions: 7/10 The watch is offered in box, complete with the special Festina Limited Edition packaging and the accessories shown in the photographs. There are micro scratches and signs of use. Contents of the set Included in the auction are the Festina Tour de France 100 Limited Edition watch No. 01757, the large original Festina Tour de France case, documentation/certificate, Festina tag, tool, and the additional accessories and components visible in the photographs. A bold, sporty and collector’s piece, dedicated to one of the most important events in the history of world cycling. Fast shipping, carefully packed, tracked, and insured worldwide.
